windows).
An anti-pinch device is operated when the front windows
are lifted.

KNOWING YOUR CAR91
Press the buttons to open/close the required window.
When one of the two buttons is pressed briefly, the win-
dow moves in stages; if the button is held down, “con-
tinuous automatic” operation is activated both for clos-
ing and opening. If the button is pressed again the
window will stop in its current position. Holding the but-
ton pressed for a few seconds will automatically raise or
lower the window (only with key on MAR).
Incorrect use of the power windows may be
dangerous. Before and during operation en-
sure that passengers are not at risk from the
moving glass, either directly or through personal
objects getting caught in the mechanism.
Always remove the ignition key when leav-
ing the car to prevent the electric windows
being operated accidentally and constituting
a danger to the passengers in the car.

Passenger side front door/rear doors
On the passenger side front door control panel, and on
some versions also on the rear doors, buttons F-fig. 54
are provided to control the associated windows.

Anti-crush safety device
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the raising of the front windows.
This safety system detects the presence of an obstacle
during the window closing travel and cuts in by stopping
and reversing the window travel, depending on its posi-
tion. This device is also useful if the windows are acti-
vated accidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric windows. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window
travel is immediately interrupted and subsequently re-
versed until the lower end of travel is reached. The win-
dow cannot be operated in any way during this time.IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
consecutive times within a minute or is faulty, the auto-
matic closing operation of the window is inhibited, only
allowing it in steps of half a second; the button is released
for the subsequent manoeuvre.
In order to restore the correct operation of the system, one
of the following manoeuvres must be performed:
❍switch off and restart the engine;
❍fully lower the window concerned.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the
electric windows remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated when a door is opened.

KNOWING YOUR CAR93
Electric window system initialisation
The system must be re-initialised after disconnecting the
battery or if the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❍fully close the window to be initialised manually;
❍once fully closed, keep holding down the closing con-
trol for at least 1 second.
IMPORTANT Where provided, after there has been no
power supply for the control units (battery replaced or
disconnected or protective fuses for the electric window
control units replaced), the automatic operation of the
windows must be restored.The restoration procedure must be performed as follows
with the doors closed:
1. completely open the driver’s door window keeping the
operating button pressed for at least three seconds af-
ter the (lower) end of travel position;
2. completely raise the driver’s side window and keep the
button pressed for at least three seconds once the end
of travel position (upper end stop) has been reached;
3. repeat stages 1 and 2 for the passenger-side window
4. make sure that the initialisation is correct by check-
ing that the windows work automatically.
IMPORTANT With central locking on, operating the in-
ternal handle of one of the doors will unlock all the doors.
If there is no electric power supply (fuse blown, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is still possible to operate the door
locking manually; in this case the automatic lowering
function for the windows is not available and to open or
close the door with the window closed it is necessary to
exert pressure on the window towards the inside of the
vehicle to facilitate the movement of the window on the
moulding.
